Off the Record | MJJ FANFIC

Celeste Hawkins once lived for stories. As a journalist, she chased headlines, asked questions others were afraid to say out loud, and believed truth was always worth the struggle. But truth doesn't pay hospital bills, and it doesn't slow down when life starts falling apart.

When her mother's illness worsens and financial pressure becomes impossible to ignore, Celeste accepts an unexpected offer that pulls her into an entirely different world-becoming the personal assistant of the most famous entertainer on the planet. What should have been a professional arrangement quickly turns complicated as constant proximity sparks public speculation, and the line between work and rumor begins to blur under relentless media attention.

To control the growing chaos, a decision is made that changes everything: pretend. In a world where every movement is watched and every silence becomes a headline, Celeste finds herself trapped between duty, survival, and a relationship that was never supposed to be real... but starts feeling like it is.
